Introduction

As a full time neutral since 2011, Ed has focused his practice on mediation and is now available in all our offices statewide. He has over 30 years of
combined legal experience. As an attorney, Ed was involved in many mediations, and recognized the benefits that private dispute resolution offered. Years later, while
serving on the Riverside and San Bernardino County Court Panels, he discovered his passion for being a mediator. Ed was recognized by the Riverside Superior Court as
being one of its top mediators for several years and now serves as a full-time private mediator.

An attorney had this to say about Ed, “My clients and I are highly
impressed by Mr. Fernandez's professionalism, skill and, most importantly, his mannerism. He is straight to the point and has the ability of putting people at ease.
He is never pushy but is quite persuasive. He successfully helped us resolve a matter of which we were not very optimistic about at the beginning of the mediation. I will
definitely put him on the “toppick” list of my future mediator selection.”

One of Ed's perspective on mediation is that “the same, 'cookie cutter' approach just
does not work anymore. Listen to the parties, be patient and build trust and confidence.”

Mr. Fernandez came in and stayed late on the Friday before Christmas. The mediation was time sensitive, much appreciated. Mr. Fernandez persuaded my reluctant client to submit to a mediator’s proposal. This device was effective and settled the case. Well done.
